He signed to Glasgow Warriors in 2005 on a three-month contract.[2] He was signed by head coach Hugh Campbell who stated: "We're delighted to welcome a player of Eddie's calibre to Hughenden. His try scoring record for his previous clubs speaks for itself and we hope that he'll be able to continue that form while on trial with us here at Glasgow."[2]
McLaughlin stated that on signing: "Playing in Scotland is something that I've always wanted to do. My family is from there and it was an opportunity that was too good for me to pass up. Ultimately my goal is to perform well for the Celtic League Cup and earn a place in the squad for the Heineken Cup."[7]
When not involved with the Warriors, McLaughlin played for Ayr.[2][8] He played once for the Warriors in the Pro12; coming on as a substitute in the Warriors match against Connacht on 4 November 2005.[9]
